Ever noticed that feminist philosophy of science seems to have become sort of... mainstream? Well I did. And I wrote a paper about it. Forthcoming in Ergo, read it here: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/30435/ #philsky

Ali Teymoori and I wrote up a piece for @markrubin.bsky.social's excellent Critical Metascience blog. We summarise our new paper on disciplinary crises in psychology and some of the key take-homes for psychologists.

We've all heard about the replication crisis in psychology. But psychologists have been calling "crisis" for as long as the discipline has been around. Ali Teymoori and I look at this history and what it means for today's crisis. #philsky doi.org/10.1177/1089...

Inequalities in the funding landscape are actually a major barrier to OA publication. The author-pays model for OA means only those with access to resources get their research out there for all to read for free. OA should become truly open, for authors too! #OpenScience

I especially appreciate the policy to not accuse people of using AI in the comments thread, but to contact the editor instead. The same should apply in peer review.

Female scientists have to wait longer for their articles to be reviewed than their male colleagues. An analysis of 36.5 million papers in the life sciences shows that for females it took 115 days to reach a decision, compared to 101 days for men journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... @plosbiology.org

Median time under review (time intervened from submission to acceptance) of articles indexed in PubMed with a female first author (n = 2,562,262), a male first author (n = 3,405,821), a female corresponding author (n = 975,010), a male corresponding author (n = 1,946,469), a female first author and a female corresponding author (n = 757,878), a male first author and a male corresponding author (n = 1,357,835), all-female authors (n = 650,280), and all-male authors (n = 2,146,799)

How to conceptualise research environments for transdisciplinary work? How do researchers negotiate such spaces, and with which implications for knowledge produced? @rosetrappes.bsky.social and I answered by proposing the idea of "multiplex research environments"! See: rdcu.be/eN8ie #philsci

Feminist work is often marginalised in academia - but not always. Today I'm giving a talk about how feminist philosophy of science has become mainstreamed, and what's been left behind in the process. Today I'm giving a talk about this the 25th anniversary of @uibgender.bsky.social.
